How come Anatoly Zak is not on NSF already? Someone should ask him to join here too. Would be a valuable addition!

I believe that he is a registered member of this forum. IMHO he would be even more informed if he would be a member of L2 section (To Chris Bergin - wink, wink). Anatoly is off-line by some family reasons, but he asked me to say hello to all posters at NSF, that he "really flattered and thankful for all the positive feedback". BTW - he got his printed book from publisher too!

That's very nice. Thanks for passing on.....and if he gets in touch, the wink will be converted into action!

My copy just arrived - wow, what a book. I too did not realise it was large format. This is a book to savour. Thank you for this magnificent work Anatoly.

I got my copy today. Practically the first thing I saw was the Bob Dylan quote on the first page. "Trying To Get To Heaven Before They Close The Door" from the 1997 album "Time Out Of Mind" (one of my favorites). Niiice.

Targeterr, I agree that the glossy paper does enhance the photographs and illustrations, but it makes the reading of the text more difficult. I find myself having to continually adjust the angle of the page to avoid glare.
